Microbial Ecosystem Control

Meaning

Microbial Ecosystem Control is the clinical process of deliberately and precisely managing the composition, diversity, and functional output of the gut microbiota to promote host health and hormonal balance. This strategy involves the use of targeted interventions, including specific prebiotics, probiotics, and dietary adjustments, to shift the microbial community toward a state of optimal symbiosis. Effective control ensures the production of beneficial metabolites, minimizes the growth of pathobionts, and supports the integrity of the intestinal barrier. This control is paramount for modulating the enterohepatic circulation of hormones and regulating systemic inflammation.
